T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MATHIAS MAGNUSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in -Necktie Holders, of which the following is a specification.

of simple and efficient means for holding neck ties andfthe like, for displaying them for sale o'r'for keeping them 'instraight condition and easily accessible by the user.

Other objects will appear hereinafter. Embodiments of my invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming a part of the specification, and in which- Fig. 1 is an elevation of a tie holder embodying my invention;

indicated a frame made up of horizontally disposed portions 15, 16 and 17 joined together by a vertical bar 18. On this frame form and construction. The frame shown in Fig. 1 is indicated as curved, but it will" be apparent that this frame may be formed is a section taken on line 2-2 of lines 3-3 and l4r respectively, of Fig.

Fig. 5 is a fragmental elevation of a tie holder embodying my invention of diiierent Referring particularly to Fig. 1 Ihave I have indicated three separate tie-holding elements, each substantially the same in 2 in myUnitedStatesPatent No. 1,268,744, issued June 4, 1918. 1 I I In this construction 'I have provided a rod or stem 19 having a tie hook 20 at its upper I end and a-pair of diverging prongs'21 at its 1 lower end,the prongs 21 being on an offset portion 22." The lower end of stem 19 is This invention relates to neck tie holders,- and has for one of its objects the provision journaled in a bearing formed by a plate 23 secured over a recess inbar 16, as 'clearly,65 indicated in Figs. 1 and 2. 'Theupp'erend; of stem 19 is journaled in a bearing formed by a plate2-1 secured to member 15, as indicated in Figs; 1 .and2. The-plate'24 has parts 25 bentba ckwardly with slots 26 therein adaptedlto engage the stem- 19. On the -j' stem 19 is an enlargementf27" ad'aptedfto press against'the upper. part '25 of plate 24..

Under plate 2 1' is a spring28 which presses against enlargement 27 and the'lower part 25 of plate 24 thereby pressing the enlargee ment 27 against-the upper part 25. This tends to hold the hook 20' at'its upper terminal of movement.

, In horizontal bar 17 is provide d a tubular bearing 29-held'securely'to the bar 17 by av v strap .30 I and screws passing 1 through said strap into bar "17 Rotatably mounted in bearing 29 is a tube 31. At thelowerend of 1 tube 31 is fixed a plug 32, "so that tlie'plug 32rotates with thetube31. 'The upper end of the tube 31"is'slotted as at 33, see Fig. i, at one side and provided with anr opening3 l at the other side. *A pair of tie :clamping jaws 35 are'disposed in the slot 33. Each jaw 35 has a rearwardly 'extendingarm 36 and each arm has an opening 37 therein engagingthelow'erendof a prong 211of'stem 19. The-openings 37 are sufficiently large to permit'tlie movement of prongs 21 in open-,

ing and closing-the jaws1'35". The partsof'.

:the jaws' 35 disposed within tube 31 are 'icurved'as at 38,seeFig. 4:. These curves hold the ljaws against longitudinal move-, ments in the tube 31, On the top end of each tube 31 is a Washer 39held in place'by a screw 10 passing down into member 32.

The stem 19 and parts journaled in bearing 29 are free to oscillate on the axis of the stem 19. In ,Fig. l'one' of the stems 19'is shown as being turned around sidewise, while the other two stems 19 are disposed so that theirhooks and jaws stand outwardly.

I provide a simple locking means 'for holding the j awsin their outward position'comprisinga recess 41' in member 17 with a spring 42 in said recess and pressing against a ball 43 which engages a recess 44 in tube 31. Any other suitable locking means may be provided when desired.

In Figs. 5 to 9 inclusive, a different form of my invention is shown. In this form the stem, hook, jaws and arms are indicated as being formed of a single piece of bent wire with the middle of the wire forming hook 45 and next adjacent portions forming a stem 46 with the end portions 47 forming the clamping jaws having arms 48 thereon.

In this form the frame has a plurality of horizontal bars 49 joined by one or more vertical bars 50. In each of the intermediate bars 49 a bearing is formed sufiiciently large to permit rotation of the two wires of stem 46. In the lower bar 49 a larger bearing is provided by forming a recess in said bar and providing a strap 51 secured to said. bar by screws or their equivalent. Disposed within this larger bearing is a tubular member 52 which has a plate 53 on the upper side of said lowest bar 49 secured in any suitable manner such as by tongues 54 extending through and bent over each plate 53. At the lower end of the tubular member 52 is an angular plate 55 secured in any desirable manner such as by tongues 54 formed on member 52 and extending through and bent over to hold said plate in position. The arrangement is such that the plate 55 rotates with the tubular member 52.

Pivoted on the plate 55, as at 56, are two angular levers 57. The upper ends of the angular levers are provided with openings through which arms 48 pass. The plate 55 is provided with arcuate slots 59 through which the ends of the arms 48 pass to en gage levers 57 The lower ends of the levers 57 are connected together by a tension spring 60.

In this form of my invention the tie-holding device is rotatable in the frame and may be held with the jaws extending outwardly from the frame in the manner set forth in reference to the construction of Fig. 1, in which there is a spring 41 disposed within a recess 42 and pressing a ball 43 in a recess 44 in tubular member 52, see Fig. 8.

In Figs. 10 to 13 inclusive, is indicated another form of my invention. In this form a flat rectangular frame is indicated. Six tie holding elements are shown, but it will be understood that this number may be varied as desired, since each element is similar in construction and operation with the others.

In this form the stem 46, tie hook 45, jaws 47 and arms 48 are indicated as being formed of a single piece of bent wire, but it will be understood that in either this form or the form shown in Fig. 5 these parts may be made in any desired manner. In this form the tie holding member does not oscillate as in the other forms referred to. The stem 46 is slidably mounted in horizontal bars 62. At the lower end of the stem in the form shown in Fig. 10 and Fig. 5, I preferably provide a tie member 63 which may be formed of a piece of sheet material bent around the two adjacent parts of stem 46 with a tongue 64 extending between the jaws 47 and the stem 46 with a head 65 on the outer sides of the jaws 47, as clearly indicated in Fig. 12. This serves to hold the parts in better operative positions, but can be dispensed with without departing from my invention.

In the form of my device shown in Fig. 1.0 I also provide angular levers 57 pivoted as at 56 to the frame with the upper ends of these levers having preforations which enthe arms 48 of the tie clamp. The lower ends of the angular levers 57 are connected by a spring 60 to hold the jaws normally together and the tie hook in its uppermost position.

In the forms shown in Figs. 5 to 13 inclusive, by placing a tie on the hook 45 and pulling it downwardly on said hook, the arms 48 are pressed inwardly by levers 57, thereby forcing the jaws 47 apart so that the tie can be placed between them. Then, upon releasing the tie, spring 60 closes the jaws and moves hook 45 to its uppermost position.

In the construction-shown in Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive, a tie is placed upon the hook 20 and the latter pressed downwardly against the influence of spring 28 which moves the prongs 21 in openings 37 of arms 36 to open jaws 35. The tie can then be placed between the jaws 35 and the pressure relieved from hook 20, when the spring 28 will move stem 19 upwardly, thereby moving prongs 21 in openings 37 to close aws 35 again and move hook 20 to its uppermost position. The reversed movements will enable one to withdraw a tie from the device.

0n the backs of members 6262 in Figs. 10 and 11 I have indicated guides 66 in which is slidably mounted amirror. The latter is adapted to be slid in behind the frame out of sight and brought out when it is to be used.

I claim:
